<< I am sorry, but some people have a harder time riding 25 miles than you
may have riding a 100 simply because of health limitations. That should
in no way put down what they are doing or attempting to do just because
they did not ride the upper distance.
While 100 miles IS the ultimate distance, for some people, being able to
camp, saddle a horse, and ride 25 miles is the ultimate distance for
them!!

Just because I cannot run a marathon and enter 5k runs instead does not mean
I am as good as the marathoner. I may not be built for it, or for whatever
reason. But the marathoner deserves to run for what he has worked for and
get credit accordingly. I don't see people worshiping the 4th string
baseball or football player..it's the exceptional that get the glory. So,
recognize where you are at. Accept your limitations or strive to go beyond
them, but don't tell me you are as good or better than the 50 or 100 mile
rider when you haven't or can't be there......................
because you aren't.
